Who: Lily Potter and Hermione Granger When: Backdated to Sunday evening after Ron's birthday party Where: Wherever the Order meets at. What/Summary: Hermione delivers the sad news after the rescue mission to the compound the missing muggles/muggle-borns were being kept as prisoners. Rating: PG-13 at the highest Status: Incomplete
Lily had received Sirius's patronus and the note from James. Though it was good news that none of their own had died, she was still genuinely upset. Hermione's father was dead. He had been dead before they had even gotten there. Lily had let Hermione down; she had promised the girl that they would get her parents back and didn't come through with her whole promise. She dreaded facing Hermione, dreaded seeing how the Ravenclaw would take the news, but she had to tell her. She promised that she would send word and come get Hermione if they found her parents.
So, with a reluctant sigh, Lily floo called Professor Dumbledore and asked him if Hermione could floo to where the Order was waiting for everyone to get back. She knew he would agree; it was Hermione's parents, after all.
